The Ryzen 7 6800H is actually 8C/16T vs 6C/12T

With that said, if this was $500 without the 3050, it'd be very tempting. The integrated 680m graphics on the 6800H is pretty darn good on its own!
Let's learn something 1st before start putting comments
Except they are not.
Try to read some reviews instead of doing your guess work. I think you're just assuming all U series are low powered and all H series are power hungry, irrespective of the Processor brand, architecture or generation....I can understand bad effect of having a Laptop with Intel 12th Gen Power hungry monster. For Ryzen it is not true. Companies have released small 14" Ultrabooks with H series Ryzen 4000, 5000 and now 6000 H series Processors and pretty small battery compared to Intel laptops and they still do fine and better.

Looking to buy a new laptop as a grad gift for our son. Difficult to find a 15.6" with great specs but WITHOUT a dedicated GPU (to keep the price down) and keeping it as light as possible (IOW well under 5lb).

EDIT should mention that he just started his PhD, so raw power and low weight dragging it to and from class/lab/TAing every day far outweigh the display or GPU. BUT he wants bigger than a 14".

This is a solid deal that's only 4.3 lbs. He'll enjoy the 16:10 16" display more than a standard 15.6" 16:9.

Based on these test results and my own experience, my opinion is 3050 (or any XX50 in that matter) really shouldn't be in a gaming laptop...
It doesn't give you enough of an upgrade on top of a higher-end integrated graphic card, and it is too much of a step down from 3060.

I think it is an excellent deal. I bought the older model (same everything other than 5800H processor instead of the 6800H) a few months ago for $750 for my kids and they both love it. Unless you are going to connect to an external monitor running 4K, otherwise 3050 running at 1080 is perfectly fine for most titles.

Is 250 nits enough? Well it is mostly for inside use but i still I fear i could regret going for 250 if in the rarest times I might take it to a cafe (let's say inside a store near a window or something like that) would that be a huge disadvantage?

It never has been a problem for me. Mostly you do not use the full brightness. Now this laptop is not meant for lugging around but off chance you are out in sun, push the brightness up to full 250 nits and it is a workable situation. Of course that would affect the battery life though.
